..Kev Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Basic head rest shape carved / rasped / scraped / sanded into shape. Happy with my top and bottom line but, Marc was correct when he said that people new to this tend to leave too much material.. There will definitely be more material coming off of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..Kev Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 An entire day of carving, rasping, scraping, and sanding and I think the head rest is getting close. For you eagle eyes out there, there's a little chip out of the lower left corner that I'll have to fix after it's glued in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..Kev Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Felt good enough about the general shaping to go ahead and put the arms on.
